I said they seemed to be trying to turn human nature upsidedown. The world is in no danger as a result of ILJ. I'm not entirely sure what was meant by the second sentence. Here is my view. There are definable gender roles in nature and society. The woman as protector of her mate is generally not a feminine role. By extension, it seemed logical that women in general may not be interested in that type of fantasy. [real-life story]My wife is a strong-willed, assertive woman. I love that about her. Yet even she looks to me for protection. A while back, we were in downtown Denver walking down the mall. A bum came up and accosted us for money. After telling him no, he became aggressive. My wife (instinctually?) stepped behind me. She clearly was looking at me to be the protector. Thankfully, it didn't escalate. He walked away after I pushed him away from us. Even strong willed, assertive women want their men to be men. [/real-life story] In raising the question, it appears I didn't take one thing into account. Perhaps women gamers may not necessarily representative of women in general. [Flame suit on]Women who fantasize about killing orcs and dragons may be likely to explore (in a game situation) a romantic adventure with their rescuee.  Lizard, I enjoyed your mini-game enough to read it. Out of 25,000 words, that section was the most thought provoking for me. I find this topic more interesting than say, the pros and cons of Marikon racial traits.</blockquote>
